It felt as if we had been climbing for hours. I stopped to catch my breath as a wave of dizziness swept over me in the thin mountain air. I was on an amazing trip with my family to experience the festival of Qoyllur Riti, which takes place at 4,300 meters high in the southern Andes of Peru.
As I looked back down the trail we had climbed, and up towards where we had to go, the colorful sight struck me a lot. Entire families wearing local costumes were travelling to this unique festival from all over Peru. Among them were old men, mothers with small babies and children all following the same route. Many of them had horses and donkeys carry their food, blankets, cooking pots and tents. Others had made their way on foot through the mountains for days to attend this remarkable event.
We continued climbing upward for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara Valley. Right across this flat piece of ground people were putting up shelters and tents to protect themselves from the freezing mist and rain. It was clear, however, from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not going to weaken the festival spirit. The air of excitement, even from our place more than a mile away, was palpable.
After dinner, we went to bed fully clothed inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next morning, the main day of the festival, despite having slept badly on the frozen ground. The ukukus, men wearing black masks and costumes, had left the campsite in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon.
From time to time during the procession, they stopped to dance on the glaciers, believing this would bring luck to their villages for the year to come. In the dawn light, we watched them winding their way back down like a large black snake. As they descended, they were joined by groups of dancers in bright traditional costumes. They performed wherever there was space. Although there did not seem to be anyone organizing them or any timetable, the whole festival had become a huge harmonious celebration.
4. What do we know about family’s climb up and down the trail?

C
Earlier this month, an opinion study said about 75 percent of the French public want to ban bullfighting (斗牛). But a small group of supporters say it is a tradition that should continue.
Baptiste is a 16-year-old boy training to be a bullfighter who lives in Arles, a town in southern France. He says opponents do not understand bullfighting. “Bullfighting is a tradition, an art, a dance with the bull,” Baptiste said. He is one of 12 students in Arles learning how to fight bulls.
Opponents wonder how it can be called “an art” when an innocent animal is killed in the end. During a recent protest march, one sign read: “Bullfighting is not a fight; it’s the killing of a tortured (折磨) innocent.”
Aymeric Caron is a French lawmaker who sent a bill to Parliament that would ban bullfighting. It is currently being debated. He said some parts of France permit bullfighting as long as fewer than 1,000 bulls are killed each year. Just because it is a tradition, he said, does not “morally justify a practice”.
Other lawmakers in Caron’s party are not supporting his bill, so it is unlikely to pass. But the news of the anti-bullfighting proposal started a discussion throughout France.
Frederic Pastor oversees the bullfights in the city of Nimes. He said the bull is “glorified (给予荣耀)” during the fight although it is killed. Nimes is home to 14 bullfighting shows each year. They bring in over $60 million to the city.
Tiphanie Senmartin Laurent is one of the protesters. She said most people are against bullfighting. “Torture is not a show,” she said.
Spain is considered the place where bullfighting began. People there are also questioning the practice. Bullfighting was banned in the Spanish province of Catalonia in 2010 but later brought back. A major court in Spain called the practice a “cultural asset”. That means it is considered a tradition that has value. A new proposal on animal safety in Spain does not discuss bulls.
8. What can be known about Baptiste from paragraph 2?
A. He is expert in bullfighting.
B. He is far from opposed to bullfighting.
C. He comes from a northern French town.
D. He doesn’t understand why bullfighting becomes a tradition.
9. Which may Aymeric Caron agree with about bullfighting?
A. It is sort of an art.
B. It means a lot of harm to the innocent animal.
C. It is a symbol of culture in Spain.
D. It makes humans know more about the bull.
10 What did Aymeric Caron’s bill lead to actually?
A. Bullfighting’s being banned.
B. The public’s interest in the sport.
C. A national discussion on bullfighting.
D The higher frequency of bullfighting shows in France.
11 Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bullfighting Is Increasingly Popular in France
B. Challenges Faced by Bullfighting
C. The Rise and Fall of Bullfighting
D. France Considers a Ban on Bullfighting
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a vital skill that means we can predict other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life, we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer other’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to appear naturally from one’s own learning process.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen, but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
12. Why does the author mention “games” and “protein structures” in the first paragraph?
A. To stress how important the science is. B. To promote the use of AI in daily life.
C. To present AI’s theory of mind. D. To contrast with AI’s lack of mind reading.
13. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well?
A. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder.
B When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it.
C. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”.
D. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”.
14. What may the author agree with?
A. We should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI.
B. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.
C. Mind reading requires huge amounts of context.
D. The theory of mind is independent of one’s learning process.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future
C. AI’s Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
There’s no doubt that loneliness hurts. Functional MRIs show that the area of the brain triggered by social rejection is the same area that’s triggered by physical pain. To understand why loneliness hurts, let’s take a closer look at friendship through the eyes of two heavyweight philosophers.
In one corner we have Aristotle, who wrote that without friends, there’s no reason to live. The Greek great believed that friendships are based on the virtues of the friend. ____16____ But the problem with Aristotle’s theory is that if you lose some virtues, you should also expect to lose some friends. And that’s not how friendships work — at least not the good ones. ____17____
So as a sharp counterpunch to Aristotle, let’s turn to the renowned Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant, who said that all people have value regardless of their virtues. Since we view our true friends with this kind of unconditional love and respect, we can assume they view us the same way. ____18____ Being away from our friends takes away these life-affirming interactions. Worse, having no friends means our value, or dignity, isn’t being appreciated.
____19____ This may seem obvious, but there’s a catch. Your connection has to be oriented (以……为方向) toward the other person — not in what they can do for you and your loneliness. So say hi to a neighbor, hold the door for someone, or volunteer at the soup kitchen. ____20____ However, they’ll help you feel more connected to the world. And the more of these small steps you take toward connection, the farther away from loneliness you’ll get.
A. This may sound fine at first.
B. They last through thick and thin.
C. This tells us why loneliness hurts.
D. These acts may not make you a lifelong friend.
E. The more friends you have, the happier you’ll be.
F. We feel like we’re not accepted by the people around us.
G. Thus, the cure for loneliness can be found in other people.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. “I think I’ve found the one, ” Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog’s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, “Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you’ve got a buddy in me. ”
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah’s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one.
One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy.

【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了斗牛运动在法国备受质疑,有议员向议会提出禁止该项运动的提案,反对者和支持者各执一词。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He says opponents do not understand bullfighting. “Bullfighting is a tradition, an art, a dance with the bull,” Baptiste said. He is one of 12 students in Arles learning how to fight bulls.(他说,反对者不了解斗牛。“斗牛是一种传统,一门艺术,是与公牛共舞,”巴普蒂斯特说。他是阿尔勒12名学习如何与公牛搏斗的学生之一)”可知,他一点也不反对斗牛。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Aymeric Caron is a French lawmaker who sent a bill to Parliament that would ban bullfighting. It is currently being debated. He said some parts of France permit bullfighting as long as fewer than 1,000 bulls are killed each year. Just because it is a tradition, he said, does not “morally justify a practice”.(阿伊梅里克·卡龙是一位向议会提交法案以禁止斗牛的法国议员。该法案目前正在辩论中。他说,法国某些地区只要每年杀死的公牛少于1000头,就允许斗牛。他说,仅仅因为它是一种传统,并不能在道德上“证明这种做法是正当的”)”可知,不可以因为斗牛是传统就认为这在道德上是正当的,不可以将虐待当做是正常做法,故阿伊梅里克·卡龙认为斗牛对无辜的动物有很大的伤害。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Other lawmakers in Caron’s party are not supporting his bill, so it is unlikely to pass. But the news of the anti-bullfighting proposal started a discussion throughout France.(卡龙所在政党的其他议员并没有支持他的提案,所以它不太可能通过。但反斗牛提案的新闻在法国引发了广泛的讨论)”可知,阿伊梅里克·卡龙的法案引发了一场关于斗牛的全国性讨论。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Earlier this month, an opinion study said about 75 percent of the French public want to ban bullfighting. But a small group of supporters say it is a tradition that should continue.(本月早些时候,一项民意调查显示,约75%的法国公众希望禁止斗牛。但一小部分支持者表示,这是一个应该继续的传统)”可知,文章主要是关于法国对于是否禁止斗牛的讨论和行动,故D项“法国考虑禁止斗牛”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a vital skill that means we can predict other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life, we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer other’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to appear naturally from one’s own learning process.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen, but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
12. Why does the author mention “games” and “protein structures” in the first paragraph?
A. To stress how important the science is. B. To promote the use of AI in daily life.
C. To present AI’s theory of mind. D. To contrast with AI’s lack of mind reading.
13. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well?
A. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder.
B. When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it.
C. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”.
D. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”.
14. What may the author agree with?
A. We should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI.
B. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.
C. Mind reading requires huge amounts of context.
D. The theory of mind is independent of one’s learning process.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future
C. AI’s Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人工智能在模拟人类“读心”能力方面的挑战和前景。虽然AI在棋类游戏和科学预测方面已超越人类,但缺乏理解他人目标和信念的能力。文章认为,为了让AI在日常生活中更有用,需要赋予其类似人类的“读心”能力,即理论思维。这不仅是提高AI实用性的关键,也是实现真正自我意识机器的重要步骤。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.(超人的人工智能已经在我们身边了。嗯,算是吧。在下棋和围棋等游戏,或解决预测蛋白质结构等困难的科学挑战方面,计算机远远领先于我们。但我们有一个超能力,他们还远没有掌握:读心术)”可知,作者在第一段中提到人工智能擅长游戏和预测蛋白质结构,也提到它还没有掌握的读心术,将两者进行对比 。由此推知,作者在第一段中提到“游戏”和“蛋白质结构”是为了与“人工智能缺乏读心术”进行比较。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading. (但我们有一个他们还没有掌握的超能力:读心术)”和第二段“Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. (人类有一种神秘的能力来推理他人的目标、欲望和信仰,这是一项至关重要的技能,意味着我们可以预测他人的行为和自己的后果) ”和第三段的“For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.(例如,如果有人问你是否要跑步,而你回答“正在下雨”,他们很快就会得出结论,答案是否定的)”可知,读心需要经过一定的推理和预测能力,需要理论思维能力,而计算机不具备人类所拥有的读心的能力。对A项“When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. (当孩子们在伤害自己后看到他们的妈妈时,他们哭得更大声)”、C项“When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”. (当老师问一个男孩的家庭作业时,他回答说“我的狗吃了”)”和D项“When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”. (你被要求晚餐吃辣的食物时,你回答说“喉咙痛”)”的理解都需要运用到思维理论去解释人们的目标和欲望,这是人工智能无法理解的。只有B项“When a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it. (当妈妈告诉她的孩子一些食物对健康有益时,孩子就会吃)”是直接的陈述,不需要运用思维理论,人工智能能很好的理解其意思。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.(在人类中,这种能力在很小的时候就开始发展。然而,如何在机器中复制这种能力还远不清楚。其中一个主要的挑战是背景。例如,如果有人问你是否要去跑步,你回答“下雨了”,他们可以很快得出结论,给出否定答案。但这需要大量关于跑步、天气和人类偏好的背景知识)”可知,理解别人的想法需要大量的背景信息。由此推知,作者会赞成“读心术需要大量的背景信息”这一观点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段的“It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines.(然而,重要的是要记住,追求具有心智理论的机器不仅仅是为了制造更有用的机器人。这也是通往人工智能和机器人研究更深层目标的垫脚石:制造真正具有自我意识的机器)”可知,文章讨论了人工智能在模拟人类“读心”能力方面的挑战和前景,作者期待建造真正有自我意识的机器,即作者期待人工智能具备思维理论。故A项“AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected(期待人工智有拥有自己的心智理论)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
There’s no doubt that loneliness hurts. Functional MRIs show that the area of the brain triggered by social rejection is the same area that’s triggered by physical pain. To understand why loneliness hurts, let’s take a closer look at friendship through the eyes of two heavyweight philosophers.
In one corner we have Aristotle, who wrote that without friends, there’s no reason to live. The Greek great believed that friendships are based on the virtues of the friend. ____16____ But the problem with Aristotle’s theory is that if you lose some virtues, you should also expect to lose some friends. And that’s not how friendships work — at least not the good ones. ____17____
So as a sharp counterpunch to Aristotle, let’s turn to the renowned Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant, who said that all people have value regardless of their virtues. Since we view our true friends with this kind of unconditional love and respect, we can assume they view us the same way. ____18____ Being away from our friends takes away these life-affirming interactions. Worse, having no friends means our value, or dignity, isn’t being appreciated.
____19____ This may seem obvious, but there’s a catch. Your connection has to be oriented (以……为方向) toward the other person — not in what they can do for you and your loneliness. So say hi to a neighbor, hold the door for someone, or volunteer at the soup kitchen. ____20____ However, they’ll help you feel more connected to the world. And the more of these small steps you take toward connection, the farther away from loneliness you’ll get.
A. This may sound fine at first.
B. They last through thick and thin.
C. This tells us why loneliness hurts.
D. These acts may not make you a lifelong friend.
E. The more friends you have, the happier you’ll be.
F. We feel like we’re not accepted by the people around us.
G. Thus, the cure for loneliness can be found in other people.
【答案】16. A 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过两位重量级哲学家看待友谊的观点来理解为什么孤独会伤害人。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“The Greek great believed that friendships are based on the virtues of the friend. (这位希腊伟人认为,友谊是建立在朋友的美德之上的。)”可知,亚里士多德认为友谊建立在美德之上,根据空后的“But the problem with Aristotle’s theory is that if you lose some virtues, you should also expect to lose some friends. (但亚里士多德理论的问题在于,如果你失去了一些美德,你也会失去一些朋友。)”可知,亚里士多德认为如果失去了美德就会失去一些朋友,结合but可知,空处与下文内容为转折关系,A选项“This may sound fine at first. (一开始这听起来不错。)”讲述的内容承接了上文,且与空后的内容为转折关系。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“And that’s not how friendships work — at least not the good ones. (友谊不是这样的——至少好的友谊不是这样的。)”可知,友谊不是这样的,由此可知推断,此处讲述的是好的友谊是什么样子的,B选项“They last through thick and thin. (它们能同甘共苦。)”讲述的内容承接空前内容,其中的they指代的是friendships。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据空前的“So as a sharp counterpunch to Aristotle, let’s turn to the renowned Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant, who said that all people have value regardless of their virtues. Since we view our true friends with this kind of unconditional love and respect, we can assume they view us the same way. (因此,作为对亚里士多德的有力反击,让我们转向著名的启蒙哲学家伊曼努尔·康德,他说,所有人都有价值,不管他们的美德如何。既然我们用这种无条件的爱和尊重来看待我们真正的朋友,我们可以假设他们也以同样的方式看待我们。)”可知,康德认为我们所有人都是有价值的,而且是把这种无条件的爱和尊重来看待我们真正的朋友,结合空后的“Being away from our friends takes away these life-affirming interactions. Worse, having no friends means our value, or dignity, isn’t being appreciated. (远离我们的朋友带走了这些肯定生活的互动。更糟糕的是,没有朋友意味着我们的价值或尊严没有得到赏识。)”可知,空处应承上启下,C选项“This tells us why loneliness hurts. (这告诉我们为什么孤独会伤害人。)”中的this指代的为空前的内容,且引出下文中没有朋友会产生的影响。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处应为本段的主题句,根据空后的“This may seem obvious, but there’s a catch. Your connection has to be oriented (以……为方向) toward the other person — not in what they can do for you and your loneliness. (这似乎是显而易见的,但有一个陷阱。你们的关系必须以对方为导向——而不是他们能为你和你的孤独做些什么。)”可知,此处讲述的是他人可以治疗我们的孤独,G选项“Thus, the cure for loneliness can be found in other people. (因此,孤独的治疗方法可以在其他人身上找到。)”讲述的内容与空后内容吻合,且该选项讲述的内容为空后的this指代的内容。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“So say hi to a neighbor, hold the door for someone, or volunteer at the soup kitchen. (所以跟邻居打个招呼,帮别人扶一下门,或者在施粥处做志愿者。)”可知,此处介绍的是如何建立与他人的联系,根据空后的“However, they’ll help you feel more connected to the world. (然而,它们会让你感觉与世界的联系更紧密。)”可知,空处讲述的内容与空后的内容为转折关系,D选项“These acts may not make you a lifelong friend. (这些行为可能不会让你成为一辈子的朋友。)”中的These acts指代空前的行为,且与空后的内容为转折关系。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. “I think I’ve found the one, ” Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog’s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, “Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you’ve got a buddy in me. ”
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah’s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one.
One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.

【答案】
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty. The children, accustomed to their own company or limited interactions, were initially cautious about Buddy. Some would avoid eye contact, while others stood still observing from a distance. Buddy sensed the anxiety too and mirrored their calm, sitting patiently and occasionally offering a gentle touch with his nose to a child who seemed less afraid. Despite the initial challenges, Sarah was confident that Buddy would eventually adapt to this new environment and make a positive impact.
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy. The once timid dog now eagerly approached the children, gently touching their hands with his nose and wagging his tail enthusiastically. In return, the children would stroke his soft fur and share their snacks with him. Their fear and hesitation gradually changed into smiles and laughter as they began to trust and form bonds with one another. It was evident that the journey of transformation that began in the animal shelter had now extended to the therapy center, where Buddy’s presence brought joy and comfort to those in need.
